Varnish
Varnish can immensely raise the general performance of your websites. See how to make the most of its power.
Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator that can accelerate the load speed of a site by up to 1000%, based on its content. Every time a visitor accesses any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server if the visitor opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will open significantly faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver information many times faster than any web server software. The result is a much faster loading site, which leads to a greatly improved browsing experience. In case any of the cached web pages is updated on the live website, the information that Varnish saves in its system memory is updated as well, so the visitors will not see old data.

Varnish in Website Hosting
Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with all our
Linux website hosting. You can add it to your website hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting packages and you’ll get a rather easy-to-use GUI, which will give you full control over the caching platform. Using one-click fast-access buttons, you can reboot or disable any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer be enabled for a certain site. You can also check an exhaustive system log or clear the cache for any of the websites. When you add Varnish to your hosting package, you will be able to choose the total amount of system memory that will be available to you for data caching purposes and how many sites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for top performance, you can assign a dedicated IP to the websites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to get the most out of your websites and to have a lot of gratified website visitors.

Varnish in VPS Hosting
The Varnish caching platform is included by default with each of the
Linux VPS hosting that we offer as long as the VPS server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can optimize the performance of your sites with just a few clicks. The more powerful the package, the more system memory will be available to Varnish, but even with a lower-end package, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you manage several different Internet sites, you will notice an immense decrease in the server load and a considerably faster web page loading speed. The platform will need to work for a while while the users navigate the website and as soon as the website content has been cached, you’ll observe the effect. One of the pluses of using Varnish is that a lower-end and less high-priced VPS plan will do the exact same job as a more expensive one without the caching platform, so not only will your websites perform significantly better, but you will also save a certain amount of cash.

Varnish in Dedicated Web Hosting
You can employ Varnish to boost the load speed of any website that is hosted on a
dedicated server from our company when the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is installed on it. Not only will you get the content caching platform ready for use at no additional charge, but you will also exert full control over it through the Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with GUI. It’ll take just a click to start or deactivate an instance or to clear the cached data associated with any Internet site that is using Varnish and in case you are more competent, you can also view the platform’s system logs. Varnish comes with no less than 3 GB of system memory for caching purposes, so even in case you run a huge number of Internet sites on your server and they all use the caching platform, the improvement in their overall performance will be apparent. You will only need to wait for a little while until Varnish caches whatever content the site visitors browse on their end. The Varnish platform works best when the Internet sites use a dedicated IP address, but considering the fact that our dedicated servers come with three free-of-cost IP addresses, you’ll have everything you need.
